Reviewing the Burton Step On X 

Thank you, much appreciated!

And actually knows what they're talking about. His remarks about the baseplate stiffness and the binding flexing away from the board(or not in the case of the x baseplate) were super insightful.

@@jonbrown9490 A great review. Burton Reflex binding and baseplates are designed to allow an amount of flex. The EST even has a hinge system built in to allow similar flexing. So I guess its down to individual preference as to how much flex you want.

Est is the best is is a shame that you can't mount it on other boards, seen some people riping the chanel out and it's get loos pretty quickly

You probably dont care but if you are stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all the new movies on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf for the last couple of months xD

@Alex Liam definitely, been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D

Glad it was helpful!

Much appreciated!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks man, stay tuned for more!

I'd love to see it. Email me some pics searchofsnow@gmail.com

You should demo a pair next time you're here

You will be able to get a Genesis Step On for the 21/22 season.

You wont regret it if you do bite the bullet. They’re an awesome investment in convenience.

It felt really good. I will say it was not the best conditions the day I rode this setup, so while all though it was a little hard to tell because of that it handle the icy conditions well. I usually have a much better opinion of a board once I've ridden it with my personal boots and bindings that I am used to though.

You should definitely consider it

No, the Ions are the only boot that has enough support and performance for me. Everything else is just too soft.

I have the Photon boots and after 4 seasons on them I’m definitely craving something more responsive and stiff of which the only option so far is the Ion. I would agree that the other models feel too soft including the DC Control which is stiffness rated at 6/10. Another option will be the 21/22 DC Judge which will be offered in Step On and is stiffness rated at 8/10

Last year I rode with the DC control step in boots. They are very good and comfortable. This year I picked the Burton Swath boots.

@@SearchofSnowboarding I have 2020 step ons and started with photons. If you’re a bigger stronger rider , they’re quite soft. Got ions and won’t look back. This is the way. 😎

@@Bohdisattva326 For sure, Ions all the way

The DC control step on has a narrow fit. It is also a pretty soft boot. Check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YZZnnnfoOjg.html

By regular board do you mean a 4x4 insert mounting pack? Step Ons can be ridden on any board

The main locking mechanism is on the heel, so your heel does not move up at all. Your toes don't really rise up either

You're right, It was only available for this year with the white high back. I was riding a sample pair which were black, so that might be what they look like for next year.

I didn't have any clicking on this setup on this day

They haven't changed the boots and the cleat shape on the binding so it will start clicking eventually. Not sure why it's a problem, if it didn't click there wouldn't be any play in the binding. It's annoying for like 2 runs then you get used to it

@@th3oryO Yeah it seems like sometimes they click sometimes they don't. Personally, I have never experienced it

Oakley Lineminer Kazu Signature Model

The GoPro Max, it's a 360 camera

How does the pole you’re holding disappear? Does the Go pro do that or is it done in editing?

@@timjordanart The software of the camera does it on its own

They're my favorite! Strafe Outerwear makes them and they are called the Nomad Bib in the Aspen Camo colorway www.strafeouterwear.com/collections/mens-pants/products/nomad-bib-pant

@@SearchofSnowboarding Yes! Much thanks.

Totally

@@SearchofSnowboarding would you also know if it would make the clicking noise on that board?

The clicking noise is an issue independent of what board the binding is on. The noise is something that can happen from the movement of the toe cleats of the boot against the binding. I didn't have any clicking when I filmed this video.

If you only shred once a year, I would say maybe just save the money. The regular Step Ons are amazing too

@@SearchofSnowboarding Thats what i figured - i don't really think im going to get the benefit of the X's - thanks for the info keep safe n well

I have been riding Step On about 30 days a season since 17/18 and just got the Step On X this year. I would agree that if you’re not spending A LOT of time on them, you won’t notice the benefit of the X version.

Mounting on a 4-hole pattern they are similar response underfoot, but the X is still slightly stiffer in the highback

Makes sense. Would it make sense to own both?

@@willboutte Yeah you could for sure. Or just start with one X and if you like it, get another

I did use forwad lean on this setup but only like F2.5 so I don't really know if they max out at F3

@@SearchofSnowboarding thanks! I guess it's probably going to be the same. The official burton video that shows how to set forward lean goes to F4. But I don't think the recent models do that. Great explanation around how the binding behaves on the board btw!

My original release 17/18 Step On bindings go to F4 on forward lean. I have a pair of 19/20 Step On as well as 20/21 Step On X and can confirm the forward lean goes only to F3.

@@jhrycun thanks! I've been trying to confirm this for 2 months now, and you're the first person who does! I wonder why they reduced the amount of forward lean possible? In your older bindings, is it hard to get two clicks with forward lean set to F4, even if the footbed is set at half a size bigger than your boots?

@@anawara glad to help. I can see that my 17/18 highback is slightly different than my 19/20 highback so it is possible that it was simply something different in the production process and was unintentional on Burton’s behalf. As people begin to get comfortable with Step On and as more experienced riders start to use them, I’m hearing a little more complaint about forward lean adjustability. The highback adjustment screw is essentially just a normal screw (Burton obviously uses one that is flat and marked with numbers but a normal screw of the same diameter will fit). I rode the chair with someone who replaced their screws with longer ones from a hardware store to get that additional highback adjustment. I did not notice any issues stepping in and engaging Level 1 and Level 2 of the heel cleat with my bindings at F4. I’m riding those bindings with 17/18 Photon boots (size 9) on a 20/21 Fish 3D. My footbed is also set to size 9.

Putting your Step Ons on a 4 hole rather a burton channel just means that the binding will not lift away from the board as much on a 4 hole board. The step ons work great on any board. If you want magnetraction look at Lib Tech. Hope that answered your question. Thanks, and don't forget to subscribe!

If you have any interest in Step On, get them an you won't be disappointed Get stoked for the winter!

@@SearchofSnowboarding How much do you notice that the bindings don't have EST?

@@aMilling not much, the benefits of Step On far out weigh the disadvantages of no EST

@@SearchofSnowboarding Thanks for the quick reply. I think i'll check them out for the next season.

They are the Strafe Nomad Bib in the Aspen Camo colorway

@@SearchofSnowboarding thanks!!

157 Deep thinker with size 9.5 Ions and the medium binding

Thanks for the reply!

@@SearchofSnowboardingdo you think is enough 163W (maximum size od Deep Thinker) for 188cm rider with boot size 13 ?

@@PoleprincessPL Yes, totally

@@SearchofSnowboarding Thanks for response. After your movie I'm starting thinking about X version of Step On's for my new setup (Deep Thinker + Ion), but I'm not riding so aggressive, prefer powder and recreational, sometimes curving. But I'm thinking, for my 110kg and Ion's will be better option than regular Step On's.

This is the Burton Deep Thinker, but the board I ride is the Salomon Ultimate Ride and Assassin Pro

They're made by Strafe Outerwear and they're called the Nomad Bib www.strafeouterwear.com/collections/mens-pants/products/nomad-bib-pant

These are the Step On X, this is what they looked like the year before they came out on the market

@@SearchofSnowboarding that’s wild that they have a black high back. I have a pair from last year and mine have a white high back

I’m also the founder of the Burton Step On Family on Facebook. A group dedicated to all things step on

@@ststevie awesome, hope you've been enjoying my step on videos

@@ststevie Yeah they've only ever been available with the black and white highback
